Recent respective form guides

Cambridge United's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While U's have scored 5, a worringly large 14 have been leaked at the other end.

Luton Town's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Just 4 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.

Cambridge United find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 39 points from their 37 matches.

Luton Town's total of 65 points from their 33 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Blue Square (Conference) Premier.
